Yeah but if they are the kind of man that privateer mentioned and they keep going at you with their arm chopped of you had better man up like Harry Callahan have one more round.

You live in Ohio correct? I dont read your law to saw what you claim it is much like the Florida law where the person must enter your house(or car) and be clearly intending to cause bodily harm other wise you cannot shoot them.Though this could be hard to know for sure in most situations.

Ohio - 2901.05 Burden of proof - reasonable doubt - self-defense
covers the Home invasion senario.

(B)(1) Subject to division (B)(2) of this section, a person is presumed to have acted in self defense or defense of another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if the person against whom the defensive force is used is in the process of unlawfully and without privilege to do so entering, or has unlawfully and without privilege to do so entered, the residence or vehicle occupied by the person using the defensive force.

Granted some areas of Ohio (Bigger Ciities) may be a bit picky on this subject.
In my area? You'd probably never go to trial.

About 3 weeks after the Home invasion someone was beating on my door at 4 in the morning.
I looked out the window but did not see anyone.
So I went out the back door and circled the house.
Imagine my surprise and the Local Sheriff's Deputy's surprise as I stuck my Browing 9mm in his face!!

It was dark and I literally grabbed him by the shirt and planted him on the hood of his Crusier before He or I realized what the heck was happening!

It was a misunderstanding over a runaway from another Town 20 miles away.
And they did agree to NEVER bang on my door like that again without just cause!!

The County did a bang up job putting the Guilty in prison from the Invasion.
And I did become friends with many of the Deputies dureing and after that time.

But they still approach my Home in a careful way!!
